conclusion_n of_o your_o discourse_n you_o plead_v for_o liberty_n to_o marry_v and_o urge_v 4_o reason_n for_o yourself_o which_o if_o they_o be_v all_o true_a signify_v nothing_o as_o to_o that_o

pressicke_n reply_n to_o the_o bishop_n answer_n right_o reverend_a father_n in_o god_n i_o beseech_v you_o once_o more_o to_o hear_v i_o with_o patience_n what_o i_o have_v further_o to_o say_v i_o

that_o true_o that_o they_o who_o expound_v scripture_n according_a to_o their_o own_o private_a fancy_n do_v often_o change_v but_o they_o say_v you_o who_o expound_v it_o in_o the_o same_o sense_n which_o be_v deliver_v to_o the_o catholic_a church_n with_o the_o scripture_n can_v hardly_o vary_v from_o themselves_o to_o this_o i_o humble_o reply_v that_o you_o do_v not_o declare_v who_o you_o mean_v by_o the_o catholic_a church_n that_o we_o shall_v seek_v the_o sense_n of_o scripture_n from_o whether_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n or_o the_o protestant_a church_n joint_o or_o several_o or_o who_o else_o we_o must_v take_v for_o the_o church_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v deliver_v my_o opinion_n which_o i_o think_v be_v not_o a_o private_a fancy_n by_o catholic_a church_n i_o understand_v all_o the_o true_a beleiver_n that_o have_v be_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n be_v now_o and_o shall_v be_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n of_o which_o catholic_n church_n i_o be_o one_o and_o to_o this_o church_n the_o scripture_n be_v give_v and_o none_o can_v understand_v the_o sense_n and_o mind_n of_o god_n in_o the_o scripture_n but_o such_o as_o god_n do_v

which_o god_n have_v prepare_v for_o they_o that_o love_v he_o but_o he_o have_v reveal_v they_o to_o we_o by_o his_o spirit_n and_o we_o h●ve_v not_o receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o world_n but_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v of_o god_n that_o we_o may_v know_v observe_v the_o word_n that_o we_o may_v know_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v free_o give_v to_o we_o of_o god_n but_o the_o naturallman_n

of_o god_n for_o they_o be_v foolishness_n unto_o he_o because_o they_o must_v be_v spiritual_o discern_v but_o i_o say_v he_o be_v a_o good_a scholar_n that_o have_v learn_v his_o lesson_n of_o

the_o marriage_n of_o infidel_n be_v only_o a_o civil_a contract_n and_o may_v be_v dissolve_v by_o consent_n the_o marriage_n of_o christian_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o the_o mystical_a union_n between_o
